MERRY CHRISTMAS 
Predator prequel. There is a direct link between this film and Predator 2.
It was, to be fair, pretty good. The sort of people who think any film featuring a predominantly BIPoC cast is the literal genocide of the white race will be upset, especially when white people do show up in the movie
The Predator itself is pretty cool.
The CGI animals are excellent and the cinematography is v. nice- shades of both Dances With Wolves and Last of the Mohichans. This is also true of the soundtrack which is great.
Film has enough gore to keep people happy and the new Predator daisy cutter mines are satisfying AF.
Questions will abound as to how a legacy foid could do the things this one does- especially her highly-improbable hatchet-on-a-rope thing- but Arnie survived a fall of 30ft into 5ft of water in the first one so frick it: stop being an incel. Also I find this chick to be a far more plausible Predator-killer than Danny Glover sweating everywhere and whispering to himself while fencing fatly with a frisbee like in no. 2.
The ending is surprisingly satisfying and the trap she lays is better than the, frankly shit, one Arnie made in the first film.
Spoiler for doggo-lovers because spent the whole film fretting over whether the pittie-mix thing she has would survive and enough animals die in this film to make it plausible that they might kill this one off:
Finally: there is no post credits sequence so don't waste your time watching the credits. Image is from said credits- why are there so many people nowadays called 'Beavers'?

Ackshuallie Comanche were more often the victims of scalping at the hands of Yt bounty hunters.
Anyway, the only human bad guys in this are French and they'd deserve it.

Noooooooooo, I mean how many people got scalped? The war trophy claiming action?
Y'know, the cartel shit new worlders love doing, the very thing the original predator was referencing?

Lion, wolf, bear, at least one comache gets his spine ripped out, a whole bunch of Frenchies get chopped up but no actual trophy taking there. Two of the Frenchies lose limbs pretty graphicallly and one gets used as bait by the indian foid.

Technically, the last one.
This is now officially the longest conversation I've ever had on this site.

Do decapitations count as scalpings?
If so, quite a lot.
